Hyde, Greater Manchester
Hyde is a town in Tameside, Greater Manchester. 34,003 people lived there in 2011.[1] It used to be in Cheshire.
It grew because of the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution. There were 40 working mills, but only one is left in 2023. There was a coal mine, known as Hyde Colliery, in the town and in January 1889 an explosion there killed 23 miners.
The Peak Forest Canal goes through Hyde from Ashton-under-Lyne to Woodley, Romiley and Marple.[2] There are six railway stations in the town.
The Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley lived on the Hattersley estate in Hyde. Harold Shipman was a doctor in the town and most of the people he killed lived there. [3]
